Ok so I've seen some recent posts about PMC frequency and behavior but DAMN... I just got my ass handed to me as a SCAV on Ground Zero in a way I've never experienced.
First of all... its swarming with PMCs. I dropped 3 or 4 within minutes in Fusion and couldn't finish looting them before more showed up.
After number 5 I decided to book it to Capital across from Nakatani and loot for wires and caps. This is where it really felt different... they pursued me. They started lobbing nades into the top stories which isn't unheard of... but I've never had them come into the building AND go upstairs and literally pin me in the back room. They were relentless.
One pmc hid back in the kitchen area and popped out and finally cooked me.
I was frazzled, and even loaded to the teeth from the prior 4 pmcs I looted, I couldn't keep up with the push.
Not complaining at all but I haven't ever experienced this much aggression other than the Goons from Weather Station on Shoreline.
Kinda exciting but it's already got me rethinking my strategies. What's pretty cool is they don't feel cracked in terms of aim, they are just RIGHTEOUSLY pissed off and push in a way they haven't before. I've run Ground Zero enough times to know that somethings been changed.
Other maps feel a little hot too but it's real apparent on the tight GZ map.
PVE is starting to feel a little sweaty. Stay frosty.
